Michelangelo

 Michelangelonak nem csak egy művészeti ághoz volt különös tehetsége, hanem mind a háromhoz, a festészethez, a szobrászathoz és az építészethez. Michelangelo egész életművén keresztül figyelemmel kísérhetjük, milyen zseniálisan formázta meg az emberi alakokat, különösen a meztelen férfiakat. A reneszánsz életfilozófiának megfelelően az ember minden dolog mértéke, a világegyetem középpontja.

Dispatched by the Spanish Crown, Jesuits explored and founded eleven settlements in 76 years in the remote Chiquitania – then known as Chiquitos – on the frontier of Spanish America. They built churches (templos) in a unique and distinct style that combined elements of native and European architecture. The indigenous inhabitants of the missions were taught European music as a means of conversion. The missions were self-sufficient, with thriving economies, and virtually autonomous from the Spanish crown.
